Fundraiser

“Esu is our kitchen manager here at The Midlands, and has worked alongside us in the kitchen since our Kangaroo Boxing Club days.”

By Prince Of Petworth


via GoFundMe

“Dear PoPville,

A friend of mine (Esubalew McCarthy) who has worked in DC restaurants for over the past 10 years had a stroke in late June. Luckily, Esu is doing well, but also faced with mounting medical bills and will be out of work for an extended period of time.”

The GoFundMe says:

“Beloved Friends, Family, and Patrons, lend us your ears! ( and maybe some dough,)

One of our own recently has had a pretty serious health scare. While Esu is on a long road to recovery, he will need some help to cover his medical bills, personal necessities, and time away from work. We know how beneficial it is to have an extra bit of help, to reduce anxieties no one should have to live through while they recover. (more…)

The car in the first lane stopped because they saw me – so I didn’t hit the button to trigger the flashing yellow lights on the crosswalk sign. (more…)
